Tagliare finemente le carote, il porro, il sedano e la patata.Tagliare il cavolo nero a pezzi di circa 3 cm, eliminando naturalmente iltorsolo. Porre le verdure in una pentola profonda, aggiungere lo spicchiod’aglio, salare e pepare. Unire tanto brodo vegetale quanto basta per copriremetà delle verdure. Incoperchiare e portare ad ebollizione. Abbassare la fiammae cuocere per circa 30 minuti o fino a quando le verdure non saranno ben cotte.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Aggiungere ilgrano e, se necessario, altra acqua, tenendo presente che il grano cuocendo neassorbirà una buona parte.

Addenough vegetable broth to come half way up the vegetables.

Quello vero, con il termometro che per giorni non sale sopra lo zero, le giornate di nebbia con il suo freddo umido che ti entra nelle ossa, e da ieri anche un bel manto di neve che ha imbiancato il paesaggio e reso ancora più invitante il tepore delle nostre case.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;A voi che effetto fa? Per chi, come me, ha sempre e comunque qualcosa dell'orso - tratto caratteriale riconoscibile da una marcata tendenza a intrattenere rapporti personali molto selettivi - il clima invernale &amp;nbsp;produce un inevitabile periodo di letargo. Chi mi conosce se ne sarà accorto: chiudo i rapporti con il mondo e sparisco. Per questo mi voglio scusare: sia che vi siate preoccupati, sia che mi abbiate trovato poco consistente e affidabile. Se può essere di consolazione sappiate comunque che non ho esattamente passato le ultime settimane con la testa sotto le coperte. Al contrario, è stata una fase importante di progetti e studio, una specie di periodo sabbatico che mi auguro darà i suoi frutti nei prossimi mesi. Staremo a vedere.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Detto questo, la scarsità di luce, il tempo limitato passato all'aria aperta, insomma, il ridotto rapporto con la natura si riflettono in questa stagione anche in uno scarso consumo di cibi freschi. E a un certo punto &amp;nbsp;ho come la sensazione che il mio corpo cominci ad urlare. Vuole frutta, verdure crude, vitamine e sali minerali, non gli importa come, l'importante è che siano abbondanti e freschissime.&amp;nbsp;Ecco quindi che in questa fase, ancora più del cibo cucinato, ho una gran voglia di sbizzarrirmi in fantasiosi cocktail di frutta e verdura, bontà da bere per un immediato tonico anti-inverno.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Si tratta spesso di esperimenti. Ed è divertente partire da quanto si trova al mercato, immaginarsi come si possano sposare i diversi sapori e assaggiarne il risultato. Alcuni naturalmente più fantasiosi e di successo di altri; quindi, ho pensato, perché non condividerli come vere e proprie ricette.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l6nn4VJ4A_0/TybN5FByHyI/AAAAAAAAAxs/8ZiyDVYl-Zc/s1600/pear+and+celery+drink3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="554" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-l6nn4VJ4A_0/TybN5FByHyI/AAAAAAAAAxs/8ZiyDVYl-Zc/s640/pear+and+celery+drink3.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;E' il caso di questo mix di sedano, pere, zenzero e limone. Tutto quello che vi serve è una semplice centrifuga e in pochi minuti ne avrete estratto il succo e prodotto un drink buonissimo al palato e non solo. Eccovi una sintesi delle proprietà dei diversi ingredienti usati:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Il sedano&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Le sue proprietà benefiche sono così tante da sconfinare quasi nel miracoloso. Tra le principali caratteristiche: riduce il colesterolo, è diuretico, anti-ipertensivo, anti-infiammatorio, combatte l'insonnia, regola la digestione e combatte il cancro.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;La pera&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;E' una&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;fonte eccellente di&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;fibre idrosolubili&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;Contiene&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;vitamine A&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=""&gt;, B1, B2&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;, C, E&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;, acido folico e&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;niacina&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="hps atn"&gt;E '&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;anche ricca di&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;rame&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=""&gt;, fosforo e potassio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;con&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;minori quantità di&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;calcio,&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;cloro&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;, ferro, magnesio&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=""&gt;, sodio e zolfo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;.

Corri di qui, corri di là e mangia, mangia, mangia ... Non dico che il cibo mi sia venuto a nausea però, non so voi, ma io sentivo veramente la necessità di qualcosa di leggero - nonchè semplice e veloce da preparare - che rompesse con questo flusso continuo di manicaretti "della festa";))))&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;E quindi pesce e in una delle mie ricette storiche, di quelle che cucino da un numero infinito di anni e che non tradisce mai l'&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Halibut alla Catalana&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Poi perchè catalana non l'ho proprio mai capito ma fa lo stesso. La particolarità principale di questo piatto, quella che gli da una sorprendente marcia in più, è la granella di nocciole tostate con cui viene spolverato. Ci sarà qualcosa di catalano nelle nocciole? E dire che semmai per me nocciola vuol dire Piemonte. Ma tant'è, questo è un vero classico che vale veramente la pena conoscere e gustare. Potete utilizzare l'halibut, come ho fatto io qui, ma vanno bene tutti i pesci di mare grossi dai filetti bianchi e sodi, quindi merluzzo, cernia, haddock, fate voi a seconda di quello che trovate.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Mentre vi racconto la ricetta ne approfitto per fare a tutti i miei auguri di &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Buon Anno&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, che sia felice e ... gustoso! Noi siamo di partenza, si va a passare qualche giorno con la parte Inglese della nostra famiglia che se non si approfitta delle feste .... ci si vede dopo la Befana.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ST8oBzcahtw/Tv8KAJxJYpI/AAAAAAAAAxE/DsCqMYD3T24/s1600/bass+catalan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="478" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ST8oBzcahtw/Tv8KAJxJYpI/AAAAAAAAAxE/DsCqMYD3T24/s640/bass+catalan.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ingredienti &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;(per quattro persone):&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;6 cucchiai di olio EVO&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;il succo di 1 limone&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 bei filetti di halibut spellati&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 cipolla tritata finemente&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 spicchio d'aglio ridotto a crema con 1/2 cucchiaino di sale&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 cucchiaio di farina&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 lattina di pomodorini pelati ( pomodori maturi se in estate)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 cucchiaio di concentrato di pomodoro&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;300 ml di vino bianco secco&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;50 gr di granella di nocciole tostate&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 cucchiai di prezzemolo tritato&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;4 fette di pane rustico&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 spicchio d'aglio&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Metodo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tagliate i filetti di pesce in 2 o 3 pezzi a seconda della dimensione e marinatelo&amp;nbsp;in 4 cucchiai di olio EVO, il succo di limone, sale e pepe per un paio di ore prima di cuocerlo, rigirandolo ogni tanto.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Scaldate i rimanenti 2 cucchiai di olio in una pentola profonda che vada anche nel forno. Aggiungete la cipolla e l'aglio e soffriggete gentilmente. Unite la farina, rimestando con un cucchiaio di legno in modo che assorba l'olio, i pomodorini, la passata di pomodoro e il vino bianco. Portate gentilmente a bollore mescolando costantemente.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Unite il pesce marinato coprendo bene con la salsa di pomodoro. Coprite e trasferite in forno preriscaldato a 180 C°. Cuocete per venti minuti. Controllate la cottura: il pesce è pronto quando comincia a sfaldarsi facilmente con una forchetta.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nel frattempo tostate quattro fette di pane casereccio e strofinatele con uno spicchio d'aglio. Disponetele sul fondo di quattro piatti fondi.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Disponete il pesce con il suo sugo su di queste e spolverizzate con il prezzemolo tritato e la granella di nocciole.&amp;nbsp;Servite immediatamente.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;_________________________________________________________________________________&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ingredients (for 4 people)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;6 tbsp olive oil&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;the juice of 1 lemon&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 large fillets of halibut, skin removed&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 onion, peeled and finely chopped&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 garlic clove, crushed with 1/2 tsp salt&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 tbsp flour&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 can of tomatoes (or peeled fresh ones in the summer)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 tbsp tomato purée&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;300 ml dry white wine&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;50 g chopped toasted hazelnuts&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;4 slices of rustic farm bread&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 clove of garlic&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Method:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cut the halibut fillets in 2 or 3 pieces depending on size. Mix together 4 spoons of the oil, the lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Leave the halibut to soak in this marinate for 2 hours before cooking, basting and turning occasionally.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Heat the remaining oil in a deep ovenproof casserole. Add the onion and crushed garlic and fry gently until golden. Stir in the flour, tomatoes, tomato purée and wine. Slowly bring to the boil, stirring constantly.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Add the marinated halibut, coating the fish with the sauce, and cover with a lid. Transfer to a moderate preheated oven (180 C°) and bake for about 20 minutes or until the fish will flake easily with a fork.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In the meantime, toast the bread slices and rub them with the garlic clove. Place each of them on the bottom of deep individual plates.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Top with the fish and plenty of sauce. Scatter with the chopped parsley and toasted hazelnut.

Giusto per citare qualchesemplice esempio, a me è successo di incontrare persone che hanno trascorsoparte della propria vita a Honk Kong, australiani di quarta generazione - ma pursempre britannici nel cuore, altri che si sono trasferiti a godersi la pensionenel soleggiato Sud della Francia, oppure sono nati in quella che in quei giornisi chiamava ancora &amp;nbsp;Birmania, e via di questo passo.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;Ovunque vadano riescono sempre - con relativosuccesso ed entro certi limiti – a integrarsi e adattarsi alla vita locale. Ciònonostante, ci saranno sempre elementi della loro &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;cultura British&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; che trapelanodal loro modo di vita; usi e costumi profondamente radicati e amati ai qualinon rinunceranno mai.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;Se non lo so io, chi? Visto il marito chemi ritrovo! Ed è così che anche dopo un buon vent'anni di vita vissuta qua e làper l’Europa, quando arriva il Natale a casa nostra non ci si può sottrarre al sacro rito del &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Christmas Pudding&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-layout-grid-align: none; mso-pagination: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;Ora, chiunque sia sano di mente e viva inGran Bretagna, risolve il problema procurandosi la propria marca preferita di Puddingpreconfezionato. Purtroppo però, da questo corso d'azioni razionale sono perloro stessa natura esclusi sia gli Inglesi residenti all’estero che i foodiessenza speranze, i quali – per puro masochismo, addolcito da quel minimo diriconoscenza finale dei fortunati consumatori - si lanciano nel laborioso processodi produrre il proprio Christmas Pudding&lt;i style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;homemade&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;.

Rimane come da sempre parte integrale delle feste di Natale.Servito dopo un pranzo a base dell’altrettanto tradizionale tacchino ripieno,patate arrosto, sauté di cavoletti di Bruxelles con castagne, il tuttoricoperto da una generosa coltre di &lt;i&gt;bread sauce&lt;/i&gt; e salsa di mirtilli rossi,richiede un appetito robusto e uno stomaco di ferro.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;Anticamente il Christmas Pudding includevatra i suoi ingredienti carne - in genere di manzo o agnello, cipolla, vino,spezie e frutta secca. Così come è conosciuto oggi, non comparve sulle tavole degliInglesi prima dell’epoca vittoriana. Da allora in poi aspetto e gusto sonorimasti per lo più invariati e le sue caratteristiche principali rimangono quelle dicontenere sugna di manzo (in inglese ‘&lt;i&gt;suet&lt;/i&gt;’) e di essere cotto al vapore anzichénel forno.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;La tradizione vuole che il ChristmasPudding venga preparato l’ultima domenica prima dell’inizio dell’Avvento (perquesto chiamata ‘&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stir Up Sunday&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;’), quindi un buon 5 settimane prima di Natale.Secondo l’uso l’intera famiglia si riunisce per fare a turno nel rimestare ilcomposto, esprimendo ciascuno un desiderio e nascondendo al suo interno dellemonete; si presume che, ritrovate nel mangiarlo, queste ultime porterebbero fortuna, salute efelicità! Un po’ di ritardo non è però un dramma: un buon Christmas Puddingrichiede si qualche settimana per maturare e sviluppare appieno il proprio sapore,ma se anche queste sono ridotte a 3 o 4 invece delle tradizionali 5 il risultato saràcomunque grandioso.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;Il Pudding perfetto deve risultare denso,umido e ricco - in modo quasi decadente - di frutta e cognac. Con il suo minimo ditredici ingredienti (a rappresentazione di Gesù e gli Apostoli) da pesare,tempo di marinatura e di cottura a vapore che richiede almeno 7 ore, la suapreparazione non è veloce. Ma una volta cotto e riposto in un luogofresco e buio necessiterà di solo un’ulteriore ora di cottura, sempre a vapore, ilgiorno stesso.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;Ci sono moltissime ricette per il ChristmasPudding, alcune più ricche altre più leggere. Alcune utilizzano grasso animale, altre ancora grasso vegetale. Qualunque decidiate di seguire vi basteràcomunque servirne una piccola fetta dopo pranzo. La sua bellezza inoltre è che siriscalda facilmente, rendendolo altrettanto perfetto il giorno di Santo Stefano.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Flaming&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (flambè) il Pudding è un’altratradizione che si crede rappresenti la Passione di Cristo, e di nuovo è unaparte essenziale della teatralità natalizia. Per il massimo impatto visivo assicuratevi di spegnere tutte le luci prima di portarlo, acceso, in tavola.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;Per contrastarne la dolcezza viene sempreservito con una crema più leggera, sia che si tratti di semplice panna fresca(mio marito insiste che io specifichi assolutamente&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;NON&lt;/b&gt; panna montata, pena ilsacrilegio!) o il più tradizionale &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Brandy Butter&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;vedi sotto&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;).&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #444444; font-family: inherit;"&gt;Così, se sono riuscita ad incuriosirvileggete la ricetta e chissà, magari l’anno prossimo potreste cimentarvici anchevoi.

Beh, certo come in tutte le regole che si rispettino qualche rara eccezione naturalmente c'è. Una noce per mantecare il risotto o condire delle verdurine al vapore, un pochino per ungere le teglie, il minimo indispensabile nei piuttosto rari dolci che preparo e, se proprio voglio strafare e mi sento propensa alla trasgressione domenicale, un filo nel padellino per cucinarci un uovo a colazione.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Questo non significa però che nel frigo di casa non ci sia sempre un panetto di burro, anzi. Perché quell'altra metà delle mie radici, quella nordica per intenderci, impone che il burro venga utilizzato sulle fette di pane tostato del mattino (e a volte anche di un improvvisato snack pomeridiano - wicked!). Sarebbe impensabile farne a meno, non saremmo più i Carracher - o &lt;i&gt;gl'ingleis&lt;/i&gt; come ci chiamano i nostri vicini;)))))).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oqc7yIg2ojw/Tt6yETIhnNI/AAAAAAAAAvc/-PSMq9FFbo8/s1600/butter1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="404" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-oqc7yIg2ojw/Tt6yETIhnNI/AAAAAAAAAvc/-PSMq9FFbo8/s640/butter1.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Questo uso del burro rigidamente, o principalmente, a crudo implica per altro anche un palato molto affinato e degli standard di qualità che sono tutto fuorché semplici da mantenere. Prima di tutto il burro a casa mia deve essere tassativamente &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;salato&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Non è concesso l'ingresso a quella tristezza di burro danese che è tra i burri salati più diffusi (Lupark, tanto per non fare nomi). Abbiamo vissuto un po' di anni in Germania, detestando profondamente tutto il burro tedesco che ancora mi chiedo con cosa lo facciano. Insomma, da anni ormai ero entrata nell'ordine di idee di fare periodicamente 60km all'andata e 60km al ritorno per raggiungere il più vicino Auchan e fare scorta dell'ottimo burro d'Isgny che questi signori commercializzano, scorta che poi andava a riempire un angolo del freezer.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ma ora, improvvisamente, quei giorni sono finiti! Potrei dire di aver avuto una rivelazione, ma in realtà, molto più prosaicamente, sono incappata nel &lt;a href="http://www.blogdicucina.it/?recipes=fare-burro-e-simil-latticello-in-casa"&gt;&lt;b&gt;post&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;di Valentina Bonaccorsi su Blog di Cucina 2.0 e ho scoperto ciò che intimamente già sapevo ma evidentemente non avevo mai razionalizzato - un vero e proprio&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt; uovo di Colombo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - ovvero, che fare il burro in casa è semplicissimo!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cosa serve? Dimenticate zangole e altri strumenti ormai astrusi. Basta un semplicissimo robot da cucina o, se non l'avete, un frullatore ad immersione (anche se questo non avendo un paraspruzzi vi costerà un po' di lavoro a posteriori per ripulire gli inevitabili schizzi), un tot di panna fresca, et voilà, il gioco è fatto. Come se questo non bastasse nel produrre il burro produrrete anche il &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;latticello&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, ingrediente meraviglioso per pane e dolci sofficissimi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Comunque, per chiunque fosse interessato alla produzione casalinga del burro, vi descrivo i dettagli di ingredienti e metodo - leggermente variati rispetto al post originale di&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.uncucno.blogspot.com/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Valentina&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;- che ho impiegato. Va da sé che, così come io ho fatto il burro salato, voi possiate farlo come preferite: semplice o con l'aggiunta di erbe o altro. Sbizzarritevi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ouymf8WGx5k/Tt61BRE8l4I/AAAAAAAAAvk/GTOM62ukEA0/s1600/butter2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="484" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ouymf8WGx5k/Tt61BRE8l4I/AAAAAAAAAvk/GTOM62ukEA0/s640/butter2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ingredienti (per un panetto di burro salato da 200g)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;500 ml di panna fresca&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 cucchiaino di sale&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Metodo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Versate la panna nella ciotola del robot da cucina con le fruste montate. Unite il sale. Azionate il robot come se doveste montare la panna.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quando la panna è montata, continuate a lasciare il robot in azione. Dopo alcuni minuti vedrete che panna comincerà a separarsi in una parte solida (il burro) ed una liquida (il latticello) - &amp;nbsp;è &amp;nbsp;a questo punto che un robot munito di paraspruzzi risulta di gran lunga preferibile ad un frullatore ad immersione!&amp;nbsp;Quando &amp;nbsp;il composto solido comincia a staccarsi dalle fruste il burro è pronto.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Scolatelo, riservando il latticello se intendete usarlo, e compattatelo tra le mani a formare una palla. Risciacquate quindi velocemente sotto acqua corrente fresca.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tagliate una striscia di carta da forno di circa 15 cm. Disponete la palla di burro nel centro, ripiegate un lembo della carta sopra di questo e appiattitelo in una forma a panetto utilizzando un mattarello. Avvolgete bene e riponete in frigo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Per la scadenza considerate circa 15 giorni oltre la data di scadenza indicata sulla confezione della panna (avendo estratto solo la materia grassa il burro dura di più). Ovviamente, se necessario potete conservarlo molto più a lungo nel freezer.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Se intendete produrre del burro aromatizzato alle erbe, mettete queste in infusione nella panna la sera prima e filtrate la panna prima dell'uso.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ingredients (makes 200 g of salted butter)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;500 ml fresh cream&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 tsp sea salt&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Method:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Pour the cream into the bowl of a food processor fitted with the whip attachment. Add the salt. Turn it on and operate as if you were to make whipped cream.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When the cream is fluffy and peaking, continue to leave the food processor on. After a few minutes you will notice that the whipped cream starts to separate into a solid (the butter) and a liquid part (the buttermilk) - it is at this point that a free standing food processor equipped with a splash cover is by far preferable to a hand blender! When the solid part begins to detach itself from the whip blade the butter is ready.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Drain, reserving the buttermilk if you intend to use it, and pull together into a ball between your hands. Rinse quickly under cool running water.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cut a strip of parchment paper about 15 cm wide. Place the ball of butter in the center, fold one end of paper over and slightly flatten with a rolling pin. Wrap well and store in refrigerator.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Expect the butter to last 15 days beyond the expire date printed on the cream package (having separated the fat part the butter will lasts longer than the cream). Of course, it can be kept for much longer if stored in the freezer.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;If you intend to produce herb flavoured butter,  steep them in the cream the night before, then strain before use.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888309983362535243-6042446014397719367?l=food4thought-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/6042446014397719367/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/12/il-burro-salato-e-luovo-di-colombo.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/6042446014397719367'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/6042446014397719367'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/12/il-burro-salato-e-luovo-di-colombo.html' title='Il burro salato e l&apos;uovo (di Colombo)'/><author><name>alex di 'food 4 thought'</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09951363693593407339</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D2tnn9S-vls/TgNp3qf6RaI/AAAAAAAAAjA/VBvSJAXAKE8/s220/new%2Blogo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-CqwLnT82Q0s/Tt6mwWXCR1I/AAAAAAAAAvU/Dt0gEq4TZ2w/s72-c/butter3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888309983362535243.post-4908540503570913093</id><published>2011-12-04T20:24:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2011-12-10T01:12:44.141+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='very good recipes'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='stollen'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food 4 thought'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cucina dal mondo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dolci'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='contest'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='white christmas'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Natale'/><title type='text'>White Christmas : il primo contest internazionale di Very Good Recipes e il mio Christollen</title><content type='html'>&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;English version below&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Aggiornamento:&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;ci siamo accorti di non aver dato indicazioni precise per quanto concerne la LINGUA.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Viste le diverse nazionalità dei giudici del contest, tutti gli eventuali partecipanti sono invitati ad includere una &lt;b&gt;versione in Inglese&lt;/b&gt; del proprio post, &lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;limitatamente alla ricetta&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt; (ingredienti e metodo).

Lasciare riposare per 10 minuti o fino a quando non si forma una schiuma in superficie.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In una ciotola capiente setacciare 3/4 della farina, unire lo zucchero, la cannella, il cardamomo e il sale e incorporare il burro lavorando velocemente con la punta delle dita. Aggiungere l'uovo, il latte con il lievito e la frutta candita ben scolata. Mischiare bene e aggiungere un po' per volta il resto della farina, incorporando con cura ad ogni aggiunta. Otterrete un impasto molto morbido. Non appena possibile (aggiungete se necessario ancora un po' di farina) estraetelo dalla ciotola e impastate su una superficie infarinata per circa 10 minuti, fino ad ottenere un impasto liscio ed elastico.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Trasferite in una ciotola pulita e leggermente oliata, coprite con una pellicola anch'essa oliata e lasciate a lievitare in luogo caldo per circa un'ora (o fino a raddoppio dell'impasto).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Nel frattempo preparate il marzapane. Unite e lavorate tutti gli ingredienti fino ad ottenere una pasta abbastanza compatta. Formate in una palla, avvolgete nella pellicola e riponete in frigorifero.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Riprendete l'impasto lievitato, sgonfiatelo e formate un rettangolo di circa 20x25 cm. Lavorate il panetto di marzapane formando un cordone di circa 3cm di spessore e 20 cm di lunghezza. Disponetelo al centro del rettangolo e ripiegatevi sopra i due lati lunghi. Richiudete le due estremità e trasferite il pane su una placca da forno rivestita con un foglio di carta forno. Coprite nuovamente con pellicola oliata e lasciate nuovamente lievitare per 1 ora.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Infornate in forno preriscaldato a 180° per circa 45-60 minuti. Controllate la cottura dello Stollen, eventualmente ritornandolo per altri 10 minuti nel forno dopo averlo capovolto.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Non appena sfornato spennellate con abbondante burro fuso e lasciate raffreddare su una griglia da torte.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quando ormai raffreddato, cospargete con abbondante zucchero a velo setacciato.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Conservato in una scatola di latta il Christollen si mantiene morbido per almeno una settimana.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;English version&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;In time for Christmas I am co-hosting and co-judging the &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;first international challenge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; organized by &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Very Good Recipes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;The theme of the challenge is &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;White Christmas&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, so anything Christmassy and white will do, get you immagination working.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;Go&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.verygoodrecipes.com/white-christmas-challenge"&gt;&lt;b&gt;here&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;for more details and partecipate in numbers.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Remember: be quick!

A quanto ci dice ha aperto il suo blog&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.101cookbooks.com/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;101 cookbooks&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;dopo essersi accorta di aver collezionato almeno 100 libri di cucina. Io non ho mai contato i miei. Sicuramente sono più o meno sul quel numero - forse più che meno - di tutti i generi e provenienze, alcuni pieni di macchie di unto (vere medaglie sul campo per un libro di cucina), altri quasi mai aperti.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Tra i tanti, uno che ho ricevuto in regalo lo scorso Natale è diventato immediatamente un testo di riferimento nella mia cucina ogni qualvolta mi salta lo sgiribizzo di preparare un piatto della tradizione delle mie colline. Parlo del bellissimo&amp;nbsp;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.guide.supereva.it/mondo_del_vino/interventi/2007/01/283710.shtml"&gt;Codice della Cucina Autentica di Asti&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; un libro a mio avviso unico nel suo genere. In primis perché ci ricorda come un vero piatto tradizionale non esiste mai in un'unica, rigida versione. Al contrario, proprio il suo appartenere alla storia popolare ha consentito la sua evoluzione, legata al territorio - come con un dialetto spesso varia di paese in paese - o allo scorrere del tempo e al modificarsi del gusto.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Questo libro ci ricorda che tradizione non significa omologazione proponendo per ogni piatto più di una versione, raccolte tutte tra i ristoratori o i famosi cuochi della provincia. E' così che per il &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Vitello Tonnato&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - piatto così classico da poter sembrare scontato - vengono presentate ben otto ricette dalle variazioni infinite.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Non è così sorprendente quindi che la mia personale versione abbia anch'essa le sue particolarità - vedi ad esempio l'uso dello yoghurt nella maionese che la rende più leggera tanto in calorie quanto in gusto. Ve la propongo qui, aggiungendomi anch'io ai tanti interpreti di questo classico di tutti i tempi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;P.S.: non è mia abitudine raccomandare ristoranti ma colgo l'occasione per un'eccezione degna di nota. Tra gli autori delle ricette riportate nel Codice della Cucina di Asti c'è anche la mia cara amica &lt;b&gt;Lorella Solito&lt;/b&gt; dell'agriturismo &lt;b&gt;La Viranda&lt;/b&gt; di San Marzano Oliveto. Se volete provare l'autenticità della cucina astigiana eseguita alla perfezione non potreste trovare di meglio.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div

Non solo hanno una quantità di burro accettabile, ma contengono anche poco zucchero e sono ricchissimi di fibre. Un bel modo sano di iniziare la giornata. Ma anche, perché no, per uno spuntino pomeridiano.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Aggiungeteci in più che sono buonissimi anche mangiati, come si fa in UK, con un bel formaggio blu (provare per credere!) e avrete un biscotto perfettamente versatile.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ah, quasi dimenticavo, perché non usarli anche come base per un bel cheesecake?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Ecco quindi la ricetta:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Z4CjCxrlNfk/TsFRW_mY7QI/AAAAAAAAAto/4Nidg7K-FDo/s1600/digestives5.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="390" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Z4CjCxrlNfk/TsFRW_mY7QI/AAAAAAAAAto/4Nidg7K-FDo/s640/digestives5.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ingredienti (per circa 18 biscotti):&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;120 gr farina integrale di segale&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;40 gr farina bianca&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;20 gr fiocchi d'avena&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 1/2 cucchiani di lievito da torte salate&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;4 cucchiai di zucchero di canna&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1/2 cucchiaino di sale&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;60 gr burro salato&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;3 cucchiai di latte, circa&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Tx1KRfw7xh0/TcHT-nm5hEI/AAAAAAAAAW0/ljZoSokbNmM/s1600/english+food.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Tx1KRfw7xh0/TcHT-nm5hEI/AAAAAAAAAW0/ljZoSokbNmM/s200/english+food.jpg" width="181" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Metodo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Setacciate la farina bianca con lo lievito, incorporate la farina di segale, i fiocchi d'avena, lo zucchero e il sale. Unite il burro tagliato a pezzetti e, con la punta delle dita, incorporate velocemente a formare un composto secco e sabbioso. Unite, un po' per volta il latte, quanto è necessario a formare una palla. Impastate energicamente su un piano infarinato fino ad ottenere un impasto elastico ma non colloso.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spianate con il mattarello ottenendo un riquadro di circa 3 mm di spessore. Tagliate con un coppa pasta da 6 cm di diametro, bucherellate la superficie con una forchetta e trasferite su una leccarda foderata con carta da forno. Reimpastate e rispianate i ritagli, tagliando altri biscotti fino a completamento.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Infornate in forno preriscaldato a 180° (ventilato) per circa 10 minuti o fino a quando non appariranno dorati in superficie.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fate raffreddare su una griglia da torte.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;

Mica una domanda così semplice. Perchè se, grazie all'inesperienza e ad una buona dose di ingenuità, anche voi ma vi ritrovaste a piantare dei cavoli estivi nel vostro orto vorrei un po' vedere se non vi si proporrebbe lo stesso tipo di problema.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Io alla stagionalità in cucina ci tengo. Così come pure anche ai km 0. Questo perché sono convinta che evitare le primizie e, per quanto possibile, i prodotti che hanno percorso centinaia se non migliaia di km prima di arrivare sulla mia tavola costituisca un piccolissimo ma essenziale aiuto alla gestione del precario equilibrio di questo nostro piccolo, vituperato e bistrattato pianeta. Non solo, ma mi pare anche il modo più genuino per rispettare la tradizione culinaria ereditata dalle nostre nonne.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Principio chiarito quindi, ma spiegatemi come è possibile conciliare una verdura prettamente se non assolutamente invernale come il cavolo verza con la sua produzione nel bel mezzo dell'estate. E non la si può neppure stipare il freezer in attesa di climi più congeniali al suo consumo!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Se non che, in estremis, mi si è accesa la lampadina giusta e mi sono ricordata di un qualcosa che da un po' non preparavo più. Forse la provvista invernale per eccellenza, quella che in tutta l'Europa centro-orientale, dalla Germania fino alla Russia, offre da sempre nelle sue mille varianti una delle fonti principali di vitamine dei mesi invernali: i &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Sauerkraut&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Per tutti i convinti sostenitori della bontà del lievito madre, questa è un'altra preparazione tradizionale che, basandosi su un processo di fermentazione naturale, genera un prodotto ricco non solo di vitamina C ma anche di preziosissimi lattobacilli. Giusto per menzionare una nota storica, una scorta di sauerkraut era sempre presente sulle navi del capitano James Cook, rappresentando uno strumento essenziale nella lotta allo scorbuto.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La preparazione dei sauerkraut è semplicissima e, oltre al sale, ingrediente principale per l'attivazione del processo di fermentazione, richiede pochissime regole base di igiene e temperatura di conservazione. Così come per la maggior parte dei cibi tradizionali con una larga diffusione, esistono numerose varianti che riguardano tanto le spezie che vi vengono aggiunte, quanto il processo stesso. Recentemente per esempio ho scoperto che in Romania i cavoli vengono fermentati e conservati interi. La forma più classica e più conosciuta prevede comunque che i cavoli vengano affettati finissimamente prima di sottoporli all'azione del sale.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Quello che vi fornisco qui è un metodo provato e sperimentato che a casa mia produce un risultato di cui ci sentiamo sicuri e che viene consumato per tutto l'inverno. E un risultato che ha tutto il diritto di essere considerato il 'vero Sauerkraut' o, per dirla all'Inglese, &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;the real McCoy!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ekmx2znkF8g/TrnbSIfgi3I/AAAAAAAAAtQ/OR0AhPquyxk/s1600/sauerKraut4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ekmx2znkF8g/TrnbSIfgi3I/AAAAAAAAAtQ/OR0AhPquyxk/s640/sauerKraut4.jpg" width="483" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Attrezzatura:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 mandolina o 1 coltello molto affilato.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 recipiente cilindrico e capiente in ceramica, vetro o plastica ma comunque non di metallo.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 piatto di dimensioni di poco inferiori al diametro del recipiente.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 peso per comprimere (io uso una grossa pietra di fiume posta all'interno di un recipiente di plastica).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Vasetti bormioli da 500gr o più per invasare (opzionali).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Cavolo verza&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;sale fino&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;qualche carota&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;foglie di alloro&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;semi di coriandolo, bacche di ginepro, bacche di pepe della Giamaica&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Metodo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Scegliete dei cavoli verza sodi e freschissimi. Eliminate le foglie più esterne e meno compatte. Lavate e dividete in quarti.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Affettare il primo quarto di cavolo il più finemente possibile, utilizzando una mandolina o un grosso coltello molto affilato. Utilizzando il coltello questo deve lievissimamente 'accarezzare' il cavolo.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Tagliare le carote a julienne (circa un paio per ogni cavolo intero).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In una ciotola versare il cavolo affettato e 3 cucchiai di sale. Con le mani mischiare molto attentamente i due ingredienti massaggiando a fondo. Versare nel contenitore di plastica. Coprire con una o due foglie di alloro, un leggero strato di julienne di carote, un cucchiaino di semi di coriandolo (o bacche di ginepro, o bacche di pepe di Giamaica, secondo le preferenze).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Premere con forza con i pugni chiusi in modo da compattare quanto più possibile le verdure tagliate.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Ripetere in questo modo per ogni quarto di cavolo verza fino a completamento.&amp;nbsp;Io ne preparo normalmente 2 e mezzo o 3 per una produzione di circa 5-6 chili di sauerkraut.Vi accorgerete che, mentre tagliate progressivamente tutta la verza, all'interno del contenitore si produce una notevole quantità di liquido, tanto da superare probabilmente alla fine il livello del cavolo affettato, salato e compresso.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Al termine inserite all'interno del contenitore un piatto sormontato da un peso. Coprite con un panno pulito e asciutto e riponete in un luogo a temperatura ambiente, all'incirca tra i 18 e i 22 gradi.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Dopo le prime 24 ore controllate che il livello del liquido superi quello del cavolo e che questo sia ben sommerso.&amp;nbsp;Se questo non fosse successo aggiungete un poco di acqua (il processo di fermentazione è anaerobico, il cavolo non deve quindi essere esposto all'aria).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Arrivati a questo punto non vi resta più nulla da fare se non attendere che la natura faccia il suo corso. Nel corso di circa 6 settimane il processo di fermentazione trasformerà il liquido di salamoia da salato ad acido, di un tipo di acidità molto più lieve e delicata di quella dell'aceto. Nel contempo il cavolo avrà cambiato colore, passando da verde ad un leggero giallo paglierino, mantenendo però una squisita croccantezza da verdura fresca. Potrebbe succedere che la salamoia in superficie produca una specie di pellicola bianchiccia. Non vi spaventate, è esattamente quello che può capitare alle olive in salamoia, basta che la eliminiate schiumando con un cucchiaio o una schiumarola, è un processo assolutamente normale che non indica alcun pericolo. L'acidità naturale è sufficiente per evitare qualsiasi pericolo di botulino.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Per la &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;conservazione&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, passate le 6 settimane necessarie alla fermentazione, si aprono una serie di alternative.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;La più classica è quella di trasferire il contenitore in un luogo fresco, intorno ai 15° come potrebbe essere un garage o una cantina, prelevando progressivamente quanto serve. La temperatura più fresca rallenta l'avanzamento della fermentazione consentendo al sauerkraut di mantenersi croccante per alcuni mesi, tradizionalmente tutto l'inverno. Non bloccando però del tutto la fermentazione il sauerkraut rimane 'vivo', continuando a fornire il massimo dei suoi preziosi nutrienti.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Questo dipende però anche dalle condizioni climatiche. Per esempio, avendo preparato i &amp;nbsp;miei sauerkraut ad agosto, sapevo che anche in cantina io non avrei avuto una temperatura così bassa per alcuni mesi. Per evitare un'eccessiva fermentazione che avrebbe trasformato troppo in fretta i miei sauerkraut in una pappetta molliccia ho scelto di bloccare il processo invasando nel contempo i sauerkraut in vasetti che ho poi sigillato. Per fare questo ho semplicemente scolato i sauerkraut e li ho invasati. Ho quindi portato la salamoia ad ebollizione e l'ho fatta bollire per 5 minuti versandola quindi ancora calda nei vasetti. Ho premuto bene con un cucchiaio di legno per fare uscire tutte le bolle d'aria, ho chiuso e capovolto i vasetti per creare il sottovuoto. Li ho quindi riposti in dispensa, pronti da consumare. Come ve lo racconterò a breve ...&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888309983362535243-1421462581181609846?l=food4thought-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/1421462581181609846/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/11/cosa-cavolo-me-ne-faccio-real-mccoy.html#comment-form' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/1421462581181609846'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/1421462581181609846'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/11/cosa-cavolo-me-ne-faccio-real-mccoy.html' title='Cosa cavolo me ne faccio?

Esperienza emozionante veder crescere quelle piantine che sul subito sembrano minuscole e poi raccoglierne i frutti, sapendo esattamente come e cosa li hanno generati!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Però (eh si, alla fine un però c'è sempre), dopo poco mi sono improvvisamente ricordata perché ad oggi avevo sempre resistito l'idea di un orto domestico, pur vivendo in campagna, con la fortuna di avere tutto lo spazio necessario e con un po' di organizzazione anche il tempo. Già, piccolo problema, a casa mia siamo solo in due (bipedi, LOL!), e un orto per quanto piccolo e variegato riesce a produrre quantità semi-industriali di quasi tutto ciò che pianti. Non solo, lo fa tutto in una botta! Perciò uno si ritrova con valanghe di pomodori, cetrioli, zucchini etc, etc.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;E anche se ho cucinato poco e postato ancora meno, quest'estate per me è stata tutta un gran lavorio. Perché qualcosa di tutto questo ben di Dio dovevo pur farmene ... Così adesso è arrivata l'ora di condividere con voi quanto è andato a colmare la mia dispensa, in attesa di arricchire con i profumi dell'estate quei pranzi e quelle cene invernali che ci attendono.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ovviamente in parecchi casi parlerò di verdure non più di stagione. Ma se trovate qualcosa di interessante fateci "un'orecchia" a promemoria per la prossima estate ....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bCy3szdbMQw/Tqc4syoVqZI/AAAAAAAAAq8/Tu2VQ-DY6I0/s1600/aubergines+pasta.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="478" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-bCy3szdbMQw/Tqc4syoVqZI/AAAAAAAAAq8/Tu2VQ-DY6I0/s640/aubergines+pasta.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Comincio allora dalle &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;melanzane&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Credeteci o meno, le sto ancora raccogliendo. Dopo averle preparate e mangiate in ogni modo ho deciso di utilizzarne alcune per preparare un pesto. Personalizzato dalla presenza dei &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;semi di nigella&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; e dei &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;pinoli tostati&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, è sicuramente ottimo per condire la pasta ma anche, perché no, su dei crostini, magari con una fettina di formaggio grigliato. Si vedrà più avanti se mi verrà in mente qualche altro utilizzo interessante. Per ora ne ho preparato alcuni vasetti che sono andati in freezer pronti per ogni evenienza.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o-QkjqSXtGc/Tqc5C-2EtyI/AAAAAAAAArE/vTGi4-9ak4w/s1600/aubergines+pasta1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="478" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-o-QkjqSXtGc/Tqc5C-2EtyI/AAAAAAAAArE/vTGi4-9ak4w/s640/aubergines+pasta1.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ingredienti (per 4 vasetti da 250gr):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;4-5 melanzane di media grandezza&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;olio evo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 spicchi d'aglio&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;sale e pepe&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 cucchiaini di semi di nigella&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;3 cucchiai di basilico fresco tritato grossolanamente&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;120 gr di pinoli&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;170 gr di ricotta salata grattugiata&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Metodo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Lavate le melanzane e tagliatele a cubetti da 2cm di lato. Versate in uno scolapasta, spolverizzate con abbondante sale grosso, metteteci sopra un peso e lasciate in un luogo fresco per almeno 1 ora. Dopo di che sciacquate, scolate e asciugatele bene (personalmente qui io uso un trucco: invece di asciugarle con un canovaccio da cucina le passo un po' per volta nella centrifuga dell'insalata, veloce ed efficace)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In una padella capiente o in un wok, fate imbiondire gli spicchi d'aglio leggermente schiacciati in 2-3 cucchiai di olio evo. Unite le melanzane e fate dorare per alcuni minuti a fuoco vivace rimestando continuamente. Abbassate la fiamma e incoperchiate. Salate e pepate e continuate a cuocere a fuoco basso per circa 15 minuti o fino a cottura. Controllate spesso aggiungendo, se necessario, un pochino d'acqua.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Un paio di minuti prima di spegnere il fuoco aggiungete i semi di nigella e il basilico.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fate raffreddare. Nel frattempo fate scaldare una padella antiaderente e tostate i pinoli, scuotendo spesso la padella. Unite metà dei pinoli tostati alle melanzane e mettete da parte il resto.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quando ormai tiepide, frullate le melanzane con un mixer ad immersione unendo il formaggio e aggiungendo un po' per volta dell'olio extravergine d'oliva, fino ad ottenere una consistenza cremosa. Per ultimo aggiungete il resto dei pinoli tostati.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Versate nei vasetti e conservate in freezer.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: #333333;

Io nordica, se ho sbagliato qualcosa mi pento in anticipo, ma di fatto questo piatto l'ho pensato proprio con in mente quelle meravigliose parti d'Italia. Sapori unici, spesso potenti ma sempre avvolgenti. Che parlino di terra o di mare, inevitabilmente ti riconciliano con la genuinità e con il sapere antico.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;La &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;cicerchia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; dunque. Io non la conoscevo, o forse ne avevo sentito parlare, ma è stato grazie a GdF che mi è nata la curiosità per questo legume quasi dimenticato. Ha un aspetto curioso. Molto irregolare, più 'grigina' di un cecio, assomiglia tanto, da secca, ad un mucchietto di sassolini. E in qualche modo questo suo aspetto, forse proprio grazie alla mancanza di uniformità, ricorda il passato. Quasi fosse un legume del Jurassico, il TRex del legume (avessi il piccolo Giacomo a portata di voce probabilmente avremmo insieme trovato il nome di un dinosauro più confacente al paragone - se c'è un esperto in materia è lui!).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Per quanto avevo sentito e mi ero immaginata, ho provato quindi a pensare a come cucinarla e con quali abbinamenti, in modo che ne risultasse un piatto &lt;i&gt;terrigno&lt;/i&gt; e ben bilanciato. Ho scelto di accompagnarla all'amarognolo delle &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;cime di rapa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; e alla sapidità rotonda del &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Caciocavallo Silano D.O.P.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, forte anche del fatto che tutti provengono da regioni contigue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il risultato è stato EXTRAordinario!!!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Jz4daRIbn4Y/Tp3PUrL3nrI/AAAAAAAAAqY/8QYz-To0YwY/s1600/cicerchia3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Jz4daRIbn4Y/Tp3PUrL3nrI/AAAAAAAAAqY/8QYz-To0YwY/s640/cicerchia3.jpg" width="480" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;250 gr di cicerchia&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;700 gr di cime di rapa&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;700 cl di acqua&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 spicchi d'aglio&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 peperoncino intero, privato dei semi&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 cucchiai di olio evo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Caciocavallo del Silento D.O.P.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Metodo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mettete la cicerchia in ammollo la sera prima. Quindi scolate e sciacquate bene.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mondate e lavate le cime di rapa tagliate a tocchetti da 3cm e scolate.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In &amp;nbsp;una pentola capace, fate imbiondire 2 spicchi d'aglio in due cucchiai di olio evo. Aggiungete il peperoncino. Unite le cime di rapa, salate e fate appassire. Aggiungete quindi la cicerchia e l'acqua e portate a ebollizione. Cuocete a fuoco molto basso per circa 2 ore.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Spegnete il fuoco e mantecate &amp;nbsp;con un cucchiaio abbondante di Caciocavallo Silano grattugiato per ogni commensale.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Servite la zuppa ben calda,&amp;nbsp;accompagnata da fette di pane casereccio.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;English version.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Note: this dish relies on ingredients that belong to the tradition of Italian food, possibly difficult to obtain abroad.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"&gt;&lt;span class="hps"&gt;&lt;i&gt;In particular: Cicerchia is an antique dry pulse, typical of some region of the South, that is only recently being rediscovered - could be substituted to some effect with chick peas. Cime di rapa, or turnips green, are a particularly tasty type of broccoli, &amp;nbsp;where, rather than the florets, the leaves are consumed. Caciocavallo is a type of cheese made from cows milk, it could be replaced with a mild pecorino or &lt;u&gt;left out all together&lt;/u&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333;

Era una cosa che ti veniva naturale in un paese dove buona parte dei supermercati ti offrivano un'ampia scelta degli ingredienti tipici di questa cucina.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Poi mi sono trasferita in Italia. Fossi stata in una grande città forse sarebbe stato diverso. Ma tra le mie colline non si trovava un noodle neanche a pagarlo in Yuan (LOL!). E le occasionali scappate a Torino non garantivano molto di più. Inevitabilmente e lentamente le cose stanno però cambiando. Anche l'Italia, pur con tutte le resistenze culturali del caso, sta gioco forza iniziando a scoprire l'integrazione razziale e questo finalmente si vede un pochettino anche al Super.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Di fatto però, nel frattempo le mie abitudini sono cambiate, e di questi tempi il mio magnifico&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt; wok&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; originale (sapete, di quelli pesantissimi in ferro che ti tocca massaggiarlo ben bene con l'olio prima di riporlo che se no si arrugginisce, e che ha quella bella patina nera che fa tanto street food cinese) se ne sta quasi sempre a prendere polvere.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ma siccome cucinare è come andare in bicicletta - una volta che impari non te lo scordi più - ogni tanto sono colta dall'ispirazione.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;L'altro giorno è successo proprio così. Un mezzo petto di pollo dal frigo mi ha sussurrato, e ne è venuto fuori un piatto che, badate bene, non è una ricetta canonica e tradizionale, tutt'altro. E' invece proprio un'invenzione estemporanea &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;'&lt;i&gt;in odore&lt;/i&gt;' di cucina cinese&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, cioè a questa ispirata.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UD449cbWIA8/TpxE3cXOyPI/AAAAAAAAAp4/dE2EWKxPeTc/s1600/wok3+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="478" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-UD449cbWIA8/TpxE3cXOyPI/AAAAAAAAAp4/dE2EWKxPeTc/s640/wok3+copy.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;mezzo petto di pollo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;4 cucchiai di salsa di soia&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 cucchiai di olio di sesamo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 peperoncino&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 spicchio d'aglio&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 peperone rosso&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 peperone giallo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 peperone verde&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 cucchiaio di olio di oliva o di semi&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 cipolla tritata finemente&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 cucchiaio di salsa Hoisin&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 cucchiai di semi di sesamo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Metodo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-munw7HylDyo/TpxBwEYIWyI/AAAAAAAAApw/-6jU7BvIWOE/s1600/wok.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="279" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-munw7HylDyo/TpxBwEYIWyI/AAAAAAAAApw/-6jU7BvIWOE/s320/wok.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Qualche ora prima, riducete il petto di pollo a striscioline, o straccetti che dir si voglia (l'importante è che tutti gli ingredienti siano tagliati piuttosto piccoli per consentire la cottura velocissima tipica dello 'stir fry').&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Unite la salsa di soia, l'olio di sesamo, lo spicchio d'aglio schiacciato e il peperoncino privato dei semi e tritato e utilizzate questo composto per marinare il pollo.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Preparate i peperoni riducendo anch'essi a striscioline.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In un wok (o, se proprio non l'avete, in una padella capiente dal fondo pesante), fate appassire la cipolla in un cucchiaio d'olio a fuoco vivo, utilizzando la tecnica dello &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;'stir fry'&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; (ovvero, soffriggere velocemente, in poco condimento, rimestando gli ingredienti continuamente).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Aggiungete il pollo con la sua marinata e fate dorare. Aggiungete quindi i peperoni. fate cuocere tutto sempre con la stessa tecnica. Ci vorranno poco più di 5-10 minuti.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Nel frattempo, in una padella antiaderente, fate tostare i semi di sesamo senza condimento alcuno, scuotendo la padella ripetutamente, fino a quando cominciano a scoppiettare (un paio di minuti).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A cottura quasi ultimata incorporate la salsa Hoisin.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In ultimo cospargete con i semi di sesamo tostati e servite accompagnando con delle ciotoline di riso bollito.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qd7Tx2sL-xo/Tb84InzywQI/AAAAAAAAAUM/xf913g4kCr8/s1600/WorldPeaceWorld_Hallinan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="148" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qd7Tx2sL-xo/Tb84InzywQI/AAAAAAAAAUM/xf913g4kCr8/s200/WorldPeaceWorld_Hallinan.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;(P.S.: l'ammoremmio, che suo malgrado sono tre anni che fa il pendolare Italia-Cina, mi ha detto "buonissimo, però sa un po' troppo di Cina".

non sapere come si cuoce il &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;polpo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. &amp;nbsp;E non posso dire di non capirla. Il polpo è dopo tutto un essere che intimorisce, soprattutto a noi gente di terra. E sono così tante le leggende metropolitane che circolano sul giusto &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;metodo di cottura&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; che io ricordo bene quando anche a me sembrava un'avventura l'idea di cucinarlo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Se ne sente e se ne legge di ogni: dal tappo di sughero nell'acqua di cottura, a strani riti semi magici come la necessità di sbatterlo (su uno scoglio? e io dove lo trovo lo scoglio???) prima della cottura per garantirne la tenerezza, oppure quella di sottoporlo ad una vera e propria 'danza' immergendolo ripetutamente (per 4 volte, mi raccomando) nell'acqua bollente.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Perciò non so come facciate voi - e vi invito a raccontarmelo qui - ma io ho scoperto con il tempo che è tutto molto più semplice. Funziona, il mio polpo è sempre tenerissimo, quindi ve lo racconto qui e chissà che non aiuti così qualcuno a vincere l'inibizione da polpo che una volta colpiva anche me.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Preferite all'acquisto un bel polpo (a volte chiamato anche polipo o piovra, è sempre &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;Octopus Vulgaris&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;) fresco - altra favola ricorrente: si dice che quello congelato sia più tenero, non credeteci - facendovelo pulire dal pescivendolo così vi risparmiate anche quello. Mettetelo in una pentola capace con abbondante acqua leggermente salata e portate a ebollizione. Fate bollire a fuoco medio basso per 30-40 minuti a seconda della dimensione. Per provarne la cottura, saggiatelo con i rebbi di una forchetta alla base di un tentacolo, se la forchetta entra e esce con facilità è pronto. &lt;b&gt;Importante&lt;/b&gt;: lasciatelo freddare immerso nella sua acqua di cottura.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Una volta tiepido potete tagliarlo direttamente a tocchetti da 2-3 cm oppure, se preferite, potete fare come me ed eliminare prima la pelle che con la cottura si sarà trasformata in una superficie mucillosa che si elimina facilmente passandogli sopra le mani e sciacquando queste ripetutamente sotto l'acqua corrente.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Detto fatto, e avrete l'ingrediente base per una bella &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;insalata di polpo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, piatto semplice che piace sempre e che si presta ad essere arricchito con fantasia. Sotto vi racconto una delle mie personalizzazioni preferite. Niente a che vedere con quelle tristezze che vi servono in pizzeria, ve lo assicuro!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x0Sntcia1rI/TpYOG0umhnI/AAAAAAAAAo4/kBhgMv7w218/s1600/polipo3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-x0Sntcia1rI/TpYOG0umhnI/AAAAAAAAAo4/kBhgMv7w218/s640/polipo3.jpg" width="475" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Insalata di polpo e patate con limone confit.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;un polpo fresco da circa 800 gr&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;600 gr patate&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;2 cucchiai di olive taggiasche denocciolate&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1/2 limone confit (vedi&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/06/i-limoni-confit-e-il-mea-culpa.html"&gt;&lt;b&gt;qui&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 cucchiaio di prezzemolo tritato&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;per condire:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;olio evo&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;pepe&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x7I7T-oGzD8/TcVx-JKYzlI/AAAAAAAAAXA/S7b5dgGvQo8/s1600/italian+food.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x7I7T-oGzD8/TcVx-JKYzlI/AAAAAAAAAXA/S7b5dgGvQo8/s1600/italian+food.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Metodo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Preparate il polpo come indicato sopra.

Il peso dei maschi adulti varia da 4 a 5 Kg circa, mentre quello delle femmine adulte si attesta intorno ai 3-4 Kg.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;LA STORIA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Il Coniglio Grigio di Carmagnola si è originato da una popolazione locale di conigli comuni a mantello grigio, molto diffusa nelle aziende piemontesi alla fine degli anni cinquanta del Novecento. Tale varietà locale, quasi completamente scomparsa agli inizi degli anni ottanta del secolo scorso, almeno come razza pura, è stata ora riscoperta e studiata, aumentandone la diffusione. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;La consistenza attuale di esemplari di questa razza non è nota. Si sa che un nucleo in purezza di 10 maschi e 70 femmine è allevato a Carmagnola, presso il Centro di Allevamento del Dipartimento di Scienze Zootecniche della Facoltà di Agraria dell'Università di Torino. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Dal 1982 si è avviata una iniziativa di recupero di questa razza locale dimostratasi interessante ai fini produttivi. Il nucleo su cui si opera, essendo relativamente "chiuso", ha imposto un programma di accoppiamenti con controllo della consanguineità. Attualmente vi è un crescente interesse per i maschi e i lavori sono, quindi, indirizzati alla creazione di una linea maschile senza però trascurare la finalità della salvaguardia della razza-popolazione.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;L’Associazione Produttori Avicunicoli del Piemonte da anni ha investito notevoli risorse umane ed economiche nella ricerca storiografica, antropologica e culturale di quanto sul territorio regionale piemontese ancora esista come “memoria” sulle razze autoctone avicunicole.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Il Coniglio Grigio è, infatti, con la gallina Bianca di Saluzzo e quella Bionda Piemontese, tra i&amp;nbsp; gioielli della biodiversità Piemontese. Come tale si presta ad essere rilanciato come razza rustica adatta agli allevamenti estensivi e biologici fortemente legati a particolari territori della regione.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;PROCESSO DI PRODUZIONE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB" style="text-transform: uppercase;"&gt;i &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Conigli Grigi di Carmagnola sono allevati in piccoli nuclei, con sistema estensivo familiare, a terra o in gabbie di legno e alimentati con erba e fieno e scarti di cucina. Il coniglio grigio viene utilizzato in genere solamente per il consumo familiare. Solo raramente, in casi di eccedenze, questo coniglio è venduto sul mercato.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;I capi sono commercializzati ad un peso e ad un'età leggermente superiori agli altri conigli. In questo modo le carni sono più mature e sapide e, pertanto, risultano particolarmente apprezzate dal consumatore.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Il Coniglio Grigio di Carmagnola viene allevato seguendo un rigido disciplinare di produzione istituito dal Consorzio delle razze avicunicole piemontesi. Nelle sue linee guida essenziali viene richiesto agli allevatori di garantire un alto benessere animale, un’età minima di 105 giorni e un peso alla macellazione non inferiore a 1,9 kg.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;QUALITA’&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Il Coniglio Grigio di Carmagnola si segnala innanzi tutto per l'ottima resa: la sua struttura ossea è molto fine e la massa muscolare superiore a quella delle altre razze. Le carni sono fini, tenere, sapide, particolarmente bianche e per niente stoppose. Un tempo il coniglio ai peperoni fatto con le carni del Grigio di Carmagnola era un piatto immancabile in ogni menù delle osterie piemontesi, così come il coniglio all'Arneis nel Roero, piatto antico ed erede diretto della lepre al civet (dalle squisite carni marinate nel sangue e nel vino). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Il consumatore apprezza questo coniglio che considera "nostrano" in quanto non proveniente da allevamenti industriali.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal"

justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Un piatto che viene direttamente dalla tradizione più autentica delle mie colline del Monferrato Astigiano. Qui anche la più semplice e povera delle case ha sempre avuto qualche pollo che razzolava in cortile e un angolo dedicato alla conigliera. Polli e conigli erano praticamente le uniche carni che i nostri contadini potevano permettersi, per lo più nei giorni di festa.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;E in un mondo in cui non esisteva il frigorifero, figuriamoci il freezer, c'era da ingegnarsi per farla durare questa poca carne disponibile. Così pure era opportuno che il pranzo lo si trovasse pronto da consumare al rientro dai campi o dalla vendemmia.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Così la saggezza contadina ci ha regalato questo piatto che nella sua semplicità è di una raffinatezza incredibile e che, servito magari con una piccola insalata di misticanza verde, assolutamente non sfigura tra antipasti di più moderna ispirazione.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ricco di gusti di erbe fresche e conservato dopo la cottura per almeno una notte nell'olio extra vergine la carne di coniglio diventa tenerissima, simile appunto a quella del tonno. Ricordate il vecchio spot del tonno che si taglia con un grissino? Ecco, così.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Per l'olio è meglio preferirne uno dal gusto delicato come quello ligure che per altro bene rispecchia la tradizione piemontese: qui l'olio arrivava portato a spalla insieme alle acciughe sotto sale da personaggi, uomini o donne,&amp;nbsp;che per mestiere attraversavano a piedi l'appennino ligure fino alle nostre valli e colline. &amp;nbsp;Quando io ero piccolissima c'era ancora in paese un'anziana donna conosciuta come l'ancjuera ( da ancjua = acciuga)!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;E se avete la fortuna di mettere le mani su un bel coniglio Grigio di Carmagnola allevato come si deve, che dire? Avrete fatto un balzo indietro nel tempo degno di essere ricordato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aMVLaxW5HvU/ToIIGiEZIcI/AAAAAAAAAoU/jxoz4H6ks2k/s1600/tonno+di+coniglio+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="466" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-aMVLaxW5HvU/ToIIGiEZIcI/AAAAAAAAAoU/jxoz4H6ks2k/s640/tonno+di+coniglio+4.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 coniglio intero (se possibile usate un coniglio Grigio di Carmagnola allevato in cascina)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;brodo vegetale&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;5-6 spicchi d'aglio&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;1 cucchiaino di bacche di ginepro&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;una ventina di foglie di salvia&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;olio extra vergine q.b.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P3vQoBubGhA/TbxGga3qy5I/AAAAAAAAAT0/367noEjKa4Y/s1600/piemonte_italy_flag_apron-p154569083701855619sdwt_400.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="200" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-P3vQoBubGhA/TbxGga3qy5I/AAAAAAAAAT0/367noEjKa4Y/s200/piemonte_italy_flag_apron-p154569083701855619sdwt_400.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Metodo:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Preparate un brodo vegetale portando a bollore abbondante acqua salata a cui avrete aggiunto una cipolla steccata con 7-8 chiodi di garofano, 2 carote, mezza testa di sedano, qualche rametto di prezzemolo e di rosmarino, un cucchiaino di pepe nero in grani e 1/2 bicchiere di vino bianco secco. Lasciate consumare per circa 20 minuti quindi unitevi il coniglio intero pulito e lavato.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Fate bollire a fuoco medio basso sino a quando la carne si stacca dalle ossa. Spegnete e lasciate raffreddare nel suo brodo.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Quando il coniglio è ormai freddo estraetelo dal brodo e disossatelo, riducendo la polpa, se necessario, in pezzi della grandezza di una noce.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;In una terrina, disponete a strati la carne di coniglio, la salvia in foglie, gli spicchi d'aglio puliti e le bacche di ginepro. Ricoprite con olio extra vergine di oliva e riponete in frigo per almeno una notte. Al mattino aggiungete se necessario altro olio che nel frattempo sarà stato assorbito dalla carne.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Servite come antipasto accompagnandolo se volete con una insalatina verde.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rZSqYnfz3_M/Tno5_LxRY7I/AAAAAAAAAn0/WP755DXJCKA/s1600/tonno+di+coniglio.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="476" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-rZSqYnfz3_M/Tno5_LxRY7I/AAAAAAAAAn0/WP755DXJCKA/s640/tonno+di+coniglio.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Coniglio Grigio di Carmagnola:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uClhCONXDO4/ToJA91mgJNI/AAAAAAAAAoY/YICPqhIqMBo/s1600/BADGE-100-prodotto.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-uClhCONXDO4/ToJA91mgJNI/AAAAAAAAAoY/YICPqhIqMBo/s1600/BADGE-100-prodotto.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888309983362535243-6497564096678237264?l=food4thought-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/6497564096678237264/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/09/tonno-di-coniglio-tradizione-monferrina.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/6497564096678237264'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/6497564096678237264'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/09/tonno-di-coniglio-tradizione-monferrina.html' title='Tonno di coniglio: tradizione Monferrina D.O.C.'/><author><name>alex di 'food 4 thought'</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09951363693593407339</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D2tnn9S-vls/TgNp3qf6RaI/AAAAAAAAAjA/VBvSJAXAKE8/s220/new%2Blogo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VKdGu19YzYU/ToIEKEmEl9I/AAAAAAAAAoQ/sLhCIXjK5Es/s72-c/tonno+di+coniglio+3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888309983362535243.post-6638247594855194816</id><published>2011-09-26T22:04:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-09-26T22:04:56.877+02:00</updated><title type='text'>26 settembre 2011, Gente del Fud è ufficialmente on-line!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-smf_Kcoc4gE/ToDTaXs_8bI/AAAAAAAAAoI/MHBJOfuIMi4/s1600/gdf+logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="400" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-smf_Kcoc4gE/ToDTaXs_8bI/AAAAAAAAAoI/MHBJOfuIMi4/s400/gdf+logo.jpg" width="330" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In molti ne avrete già sentito parlare, tutti ne sentirete sempre di più da qui in avanti, perchè Gente del Fud è &amp;nbsp;finalmente una realtà, una banca dati delle eccellenze gastronomiche disponibile a tutti quelli che vorranno consultare il sito&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.gentedelfud.it/"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;www.gentedelfud.it&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Le informazioni relative a 649 prodotti, 631 produttori e 740 ricette sono il risultato del contributo ad oggi di 145 foodblogger italiani.

Pare che io sia un caso senza speranza. Spero solo che sognare di cibo e nuove ricette non influenzi in qualche modo il mio metabolismo notturno, che già di giorno non è facile cercare di mantenere un peso decente (sigh!).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Sia come sia, l'ispirazione si è rivelata vincente. Tanto più quando ho servito questo &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;cheesecake&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; ad una persona che per ragioni di salute non può assumere formaggi (e li rimpiange ogni giorno) ma tollera invece lo yoghurt.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Perché il&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt; formaggio Labnah&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, come molti già sapranno, non è un vero e proprio formaggio dato che non subisce i processi classici di cagliatura del latte. Si tratta invece di yoghurt addizionato con un poco di sale e lasciato colare in ambiente fresco così da separare il siero dalla materia solida. E' un prodotto tipico dei paesi arabi, facilissimo da replicare in casa per una fornitura quasi immediata di formaggio freschissimo dal sapore e la consistenza simile a quella del Phyladelphia (o del cream cheese, per gli anglofoni). Oltre alla garanzia di freschezza, naturalmente, c'è anche quella di un prodotto leggero, dal basso contenuto calorico e, soprattutto se si utilizza yoghurt biologico, dalle sicure qualità.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--uUc4uzq8Tk/TkKoBfA4r5I/AAAAAAAAAnY/U0cZIdiYqJY/s1600/cheesecake3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: right;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="478" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/--uUc4uzq8Tk/TkKoBfA4r5I/AAAAAAAAAnY/U0cZIdiYqJY/s640/cheesecake3.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Da qui la mia idea di utilizzarlo come componente principale per un cheesecake salato. Va detto a questo punto che per me il cheesecake è solo ed esclusivamente quello a crudo - da buona 'part-English' tale è la mia scuola di pensiero.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A completamento, per quel tocco di profumo e di colore che fa la differenza, ho spolverizzato la superficie con un velo di fiori eduli secchi, con l'inclusione di un pizzico piccolissimo di fiori di lavanda.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Il risultato è stato un graditissimo antipasto di cui mi si richiede da un po' la ricetta.

Ponete il composto ottenuto in un telo di mussola. Legate la mussola e appendetela al ripiano del frigorifero. Metteteci sotto una ciotola che raccolga il siero che verrà prodotto. Lasciatelo in frigorifero a colare per almeno una notte. (N.B.: in commercio si trova uno strumento apposito - effettivamente una scatola di plastica con coperchio che ha al suo interno un filtro - se vi affezionate al formaggio Labnah è un buon investimento).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Sbriciolate finemente i biscotti Digestive e unitevi il burro precedentemente sciolto su fuoco bassissimo o al microonde. Incorporate bene per consentire ai biscotti sbriciolati di assorbire il burro in modo omogeneo e versate in una tortiera con il bordo a cerniera. Livellate, premete bene e mettete in frigorifero.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;In una ciotola unite le erbe al Labnah.&amp;nbsp;Montate la panna e incorporatela delicatamente al composto.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Fate sciogliere l'Agar-agar nel latte portandolo gentilmente ad ebollizione. Togliete dal fuoco e unite immediatamente al composto amalgamando bene. Naturalmente potete usare normale colla di pesce al posto dell'Agar-agar.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Versate nella tortiera, livellate bene, spolverizzate con i fiori eduli e ponete nuovamente in frigorifero per almeno un paio di ore - e comunque fino a quando sarà ora di servirlo - per consentire al cheesecake di solidificare.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;Al momento di servire passate la lama di un coltello intorno al bordo, aprite la cerniera togliendo il bordo della tortiera e trasferite su un piatto da portata.

Caos che mi ha portata ad abbandonare temporaneamente queste pagine e la routine che mi ero costruita. Non moltissimo - un paio di post la settimana - che né capisco come si faccia a postare ogni giorno, né mi piace inondare la rete per il gusto di farlo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cosa è successo? Niente di che in verità. L'ammoremmio a casa per qualche settimana ha assorbito molto del mio tempo, un po' di su e giù tra casa e il mare ha fatto il resto, e l'aver passato le ultime 4 settimane a fare &amp;nbsp;da cuoca-segretaria-faccendiera-crocerossina ad un caro amico allettato per una stupida caduta (dal pero! si, non è uno scherzo!) ha dato l'ultimo colpo fatale al già poco tempo disponibile per postare qui.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Perdere il ritmo però non è uno scherzo. Il rientro nel 'giro' so già che sarà sofferto. A chi aveva imparato a seguirmi perciò, oltre a chiedere scusa per questa assenza non annunciata, chiederò anche un atto di fede e tanto supporto: fatemi sapere che siete ancora lì e che sono perdonata.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Comunque - e nonostante le tante insalate capresi prodotte e consumate - non pensiate che mi sia allontanata tanto dalla cucina.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Qualche cosina sono anche riuscita fotografarla e ve la racconterò a breve.

Chi mi conosce sa che quest'anno ho finalmente ceduto e per la prima volta ho impiantato un&amp;nbsp;orto. Grande, grandissima soddisfazione. Ma, di fronte alla dura realtà, ho ricordato il perché di tutta la mia resistenza passata: in casa siamo solo in due (umani!) e l'orto più piccolo del mondo produce quantità impressionanti di verdure che richiedono in qualche modo di essere utilizzate SUBITO - lungi da me l'idea di buttarle, lo spreco rientra tra i peccati capitali per quanto &amp;nbsp;mi concerne.&amp;nbsp;Il risultato?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cetriolini in agrodolce, i veri sauerkraut, un curioso antico sott'aceto inglese che si chiama 'pane e burro', ketchup, Habaneros sott'aceto, chutney di melanzane, salsa Harief dal Marocco (questa è per Ele!), lime pickle dall'India ... e non so quant'altro dimentichi al momento.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Un po' per volta posterò anche loro e se non sono proprio di stagione pazienza. Vorrà dire che se qualcuno è sufficientemente incuriosito da volerli provare gli toccherà farci un'orecchia e rispolverare la ricetta l'anno prossimo.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Tra le cose successe recentemente mi fa piacere informarvi che la famiglia si è allargata ed è arrivato &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Mordechai&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; che, come potete vedere qui, si è subito adattato all'andazzo di casa.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7SFiV2hMBu8/Tno1jkWvxVI/AAAAAAAAAno/aFFGqpimQEg/s1600/mordechai" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="498" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-7SFiV2hMBu8/Tno1jkWvxVI/AAAAAAAAAno/aFFGqpimQEg/s640/mordechai" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Naturalmente sono stata a &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Cheese&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Non potevo mancare. Si svolge a Brà, quasi sulla soglia di casa ed è un evento strepitoso. Ho passeggiato, assaggiato e raccolto un sacco di informazioni su prodotti meravigliosi che spero un po' per volta di riuscire a riversare in &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Gente del Fud&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fz28GfAjcpA/Tno3O9yHpMI/AAAAAAAAAns/yvgPZPB_iz8/s1600/cheese2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fz28GfAjcpA/Tno3O9yHpMI/AAAAAAAAAns/yvgPZPB_iz8/s640/cheese2.jpg" width="476" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Cos'altro è successo che vale la pena raccontare? Si, ci sono ancora tre cosine e poi vi lascio per non annoiarvi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ad inizio settembre ci siamo incontrate &lt;a href="http://www.pentoledicristallo.blogspot.com/2011/09/5-foodblogger-una-casa-da-sogno-e-tante.html"&gt;Laura&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://www.solounvelodifarina.blogspot.com/2011/09/e-quasi-per-scherzo-e-nato-il-nostro.html"&gt;Ljuba&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.cucinanonnapapera.it/?p=637"&gt;Silvia&lt;/a&gt;,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.japanthewonderland.blogspot.com/2011/09/cinque-ragazze-un-maniero-e-tante.html"&gt;Paola&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;ed io per una giornata di chiacchiere e stupende cibarie a casa mia. Cosa ci unisce è l'essere tutte &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;foodblogger piemontesi&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;. Ci siamo incontrate sul web e abbiamo deciso di conoscerci anche di persona. Per me è stata una prima assoluta. Finalmente mettevo un viso e della 'ciccia' su persone che fino ad allora erano solo personaggi - come secondo me succede a chi si conosce solo in rete. Siamo tutte diversissime ma abbiamo un sacco di idee. Credo che in futuro ne uscirà qualcosa. Le ragazze naturalmente sono state molto più efficienti di me e hanno postato un resoconto dell'incontro. Se volete saperne di più andate a vedere i loro blog.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Poco dopo quest'evento ho fatto un'esperienza interessante: un paio di signore inglesi, amiche di un'amica, sono state da me per una giornata di &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large; font-weight: bold;"&gt;'informalissima' scuola di cucina&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"&gt;&amp;nbsp;(perdonatemi il titolo altisonante!)&lt;/span&gt;. A loro interessava saperne di più sulla cucina italiana, a me solleticava l'idea di provare ad insegnare ad altri quanto per me è normale in cucina. E' stato esilarante. Jill e Jill (stesso nome, curioso, no?) se ne sono andate felici dopo naturalmente aver consumato tutti insieme, mariti inclusi, quanto avevamo cucinato. E a me è rimasta la voglia di replicare. Chissà, magari future occasioni si potrebbero presentare. Purché tutto si mantenga su un piano assolutamente informale sarebbe interessante.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;In ultimo, lunedì ho inoltrato il frutto del mio sudore sotto forma di articolo alla redazione di&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.my365mag.com/"&gt;My365&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;dove nel prossimo numero sostituisco Eleonora di &lt;a href="http://www.burro-e-miele.com/"&gt;Burro e Miele&lt;/a&gt;. Grazie Ele per esserti fidata e avermi offerto questa bella opportunità. Non appena sarà on-line vi avviserò.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Qui finisce questa lunga tiritera. Le scuse ora le devo estendere al fatto di essermi dilungata a raccontare gli affaracci miei. Ma mi siete mancati!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A prestissimo&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Alex&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PhHPJY8hJzw/Tno09bvA8dI/AAAAAAAAAnk/n8NATWX9k4k/s1600/me.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="150" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-PhHPJY8hJzw/Tno09bvA8dI/AAAAAAAAAnk/n8NATWX9k4k/s200/me.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888309983362535243-3808653585468808667?l=food4thought-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/3808653585468808667/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/09/torna-lautunno-e-torno-anchio.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/3808653585468808667'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/3808653585468808667'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/09/torna-lautunno-e-torno-anchio.html' title='Torna l&apos;autunno e torno anch&apos;io.'/><author><name>alex di 'food 4 thought'</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09951363693593407339</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D2tnn9S-vls/TgNp3qf6RaI/AAAAAAAAAjA/VBvSJAXAKE8/s220/new%2Blogo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-7OBoe04kOIk/Tno5Za6hJoI/AAAAAAAAAnw/eolLpwYaTIA/s72-c/cheesecake3.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888309983362535243.post-4035807027328948372</id><published>2011-08-08T12:24:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T13:57:25.027+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gente del fud'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food 4 thought'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='dal Terroir'/><title type='text'>Le eccellenze del Terroir: il Carciofo Violetto di Perinaldo</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7b9ncKIl5UU/Tj-yzKkvFFI/AAAAAAAAAnE/BKEX_Bw0LOA/s1600/Carciofo-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="480" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-7b9ncKIl5UU/Tj-yzKkvFFI/AAAAAAAAAnE/BKEX_Bw0LOA/s640/Carciofo-1.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"&gt;CARCIOFO VIOLETTO DI PERINALDO&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; - immagine dal web&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Da oggi si apre su Food 4 Thought una nuova rubrica: 'dal Terroir', dedicata appunto a quei prodotti del territorio che rappresentano l'eccellenza gastronomica e la biodivesità. La rubrica nasce e verrà aggiornata di pari passo con l'inserimento da parte mia delle schede prodotto nel data base di &lt;b&gt;Gente del Fud&lt;/b&gt;, la nuova community che per iniziativa del Pastificio Garofalo verrà lanciata a settembre sul web.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-daUrWLzF2K8/Tj-yh8mFi-I/AAAAAAAAAnA/du7LEy7qFjQ/s1600/Gente+del+Fud.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-daUrWLzF2K8/Tj-yh8mFi-I/AAAAAAAAAnA/du7LEy7qFjQ/s1600/Gente+del+Fud.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;L'obiettivo di Gente del Fud, come forse ormai saprete, è di mettere in rete, rendendole disponibili a tutti, le conoscenze dei foodblogger in materia di prodotti di qualità, la loro storia, le loro caratteristiche e le informazioni concernenti i produttori. Amplificarne anche solo di poco la portata rendendo le stesse informazioni disponibili anche su questa mia pagina mi sembra doveroso e corretto.

Da esso si sviluppano dei fiori azzurri.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;LA STORIA&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Le ragioni per cui questa varietà francese si trova nel territorio comunale di Perinaldo sono di natura storica e agronomica.Con la campagna d'Italia Napoleone visitò e soggiornò a Perinaldo in compagnia del generale Massena e di quattro battaglioni di militari, molti dei quali originari della vicina Provenza, allora territorio italiano. Saranno loro qualche anno più tardi che, stabilitisi a Perinaldo, introdurranno questa nuova coltura. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Ci sarebbe da chiedersi come mai i paesi vicini non abbiano seguito l'esempio. La risposta è soprattutto nelle caratteristiche pedoclimatiche: l'altitudine (440-600 m s.l.m), l'esposizione al sole, il terreno di medio impasto, la disponibilità di acqua un buon drenaggio e infine la gelosia degli stessi perinaldesi, poco disponibili a rivelare i loro segreti. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;COLTIVAZIONE&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;La generosità produttiva del CARCIOFO DI PERINALDO, dipende molto dalla sua esposizione senza tralasciare la fertilità del terreno e gli elementi nutritivi in esso contenuti. Il substrato terroso che accoglierà le piantine va preparato con l'apporto di sostanze organiche che lo rendano soffice e permeabile, per migliorare la capillarità in superficie e permettere quindi un buon drenaggio dell'acqua. Il drenaggio è necessario e lo si trova spesso lungo i bordi dei classici muretti a secco. Il sesto di impianto non ha preferenze, è pero' necessario rispettare la distanza di almeno cm 120 sulla fila. Questi e altri accorgimenti che un bravo coltivatore sa effettuare consentono alla pianta una produzione che va dai dieci fiori del primo anno ai 25 del secondo anno. Le piante del carciofo provenzale non vanno sostituite, si deve solamente procedere a uno sfoltimento del bulbilli radicali dopo il secondo anno di produzione. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Ai giorni nostri l'impegno e la sensibilità delle nuove generazioni che intraprendono la coltura del biologico consentono di mantenere viva questa produzione tradizionale. Il violet di provenza si presta infatti molto bene alla coltivazione biologica: dall'impianto alla raccolta non necessita assolutamente di antiparassitari o anticrittogamici di sorta. Tagliato con una parte di stelo si mette in acqua per una conservazione settimanale senza ricorrere alla refrigerazione, senza quindi dover ricorrere a conservanti per il suo mantenimento.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;I CARCIOFI DI PERINALDO si raccolgono tra maggio e giugno. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;QUALITA’&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Il CARCIOFO DI PERINALDO è un carciofo senza spine, di bell'aspetto. La pianta cespugliosa ha un portamento eretto con all'apice del germoglio; il fiore e di colore viola cenere, che in prima fioritura si presenta composto e leggermente schiacciato. La seconda fioritura laterale è invece slanciata e omogenea e non presenta barbe o stoppe. Il cuore è delicato, di colore paglierino ed assume una tinta tendente al violetto quanto più è maturo. Rimane sempre eccellente al palato. Le foglie sono molto decorative, di colore argento in superficie con tonalità più tenui nella parte inferiore. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Resistente alle temperature più rigide, sopporta la siccità e non necessita di trattamenti chimici per produrre il frutto. È ricco di proprietà organolettiche e si distingue per bontà e raffinatezza sia crudo, sia cotto.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="MsoNormal" style="mso-outline-level: 1; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span lang="EN-GB"&gt;Ha un elevato contenuto in fibre, in acidi organici (tannini) e in ferro. Tra le varie sostanze contiene la cinarina, principio ad azione coleretica e colagoga e che pertanto regolarizza le funzioni intestinali. Ha anche attività tonica, diuretica e ipocolesterolizzante.

Beh, quelle sono tutta un'altra cosa! Stiamo parlando infatti di uno dei meglio conosciuti classici della cucina siciliana: la &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Caponata&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;b&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;Cucinata però da una piemontese che ha imparato a farlo da ... &amp;nbsp;tenetevi forte ... un'Inglese!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (e qui&amp;nbsp;&lt;i&gt;mi immagino le reazioni: sguardi inorriditi, peli che si drizzano, tutto il repertorio dell'incredulità censoria, soprattutto da parte di quelle tante, bravissime glogger siciliane che ci sono là fuori!!!!&lt;/i&gt;)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Però è così, è la verità. Io la caponata l'ho imparata da Jane Grigson, e scusate se è poco: la Papessa del cibo ci ha lasciato ormai da più di vent'anni ma ha avuto tutto il tempo per riportare una nazione intera sulla retta via culinaria. I suoi libri sono a tutt'oggi preziosissimi. E pensare che si tratta di quei libri di cucina di una volta, senza una foto che sia una, dove tutto è lasciato alla maestria di chi scrive nel raccontarti origini, aneddoti storici e culinari e, soprattutto, ricette che ti fanno sognare! E che non sia mai stata tradotta in Italiano è a dir poco un peccato (avessi&amp;nbsp;a questo punto risvegliato qualche curiosità guardate per esempio&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Jane-Grigsons-Vegetable-Book-Grigson/dp/0140273239"&gt; QUI&lt;/a&gt;).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; A tutto questo aggiungeteci poi un po' di attitudini - o idiosincrasie! - personali che mi portano da sempre a ridurre l'uso dei grassi all'osso e ad evitare i fritti e avrete alla fine, senza penalizzazioni di gusto, la mia versione personale e leggerissima del suddetto classico. Agli increduli posso solo ribattere: &amp;nbsp;provatela!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-clwq0MwEtRI/Th92sSimZbI/AAAAAAAAAmw/2HLjq2VE3O4/s1600/caponata2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="479" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-clwq0MwEtRI/Th92sSimZbI/AAAAAAAAAmw/2HLjq2VE3O4/s640/caponata2.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ingredienti&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 kg pomodori perino maturi&lt;br /&gt;1 cipolla&lt;br /&gt;100 ml di aceto di vino bianco&lt;br /&gt;2 cucchiai di zucchero di canna&lt;br /&gt;sale e pepe&lt;br /&gt;1 1/2 kg melanzane&lt;br /&gt;1 sedano&lt;br /&gt;1 cucchiaio di capperi dissalati&lt;br /&gt;1 dozzina di olive denocciolate&lt;br /&gt;1 cucchiaio di pinoli&lt;br /&gt;olio evo&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x7I7T-oGzD8/TcVx-JKYzlI/AAAAAAAAAXA/S7b5dgGvQo8/s1600/italian+food.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="191" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-x7I7T-oGzD8/TcVx-JKYzlI/AAAAAAAAAXA/S7b5dgGvQo8/s200/italian+food.png" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;cucina italiana (rivisitata)&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Pelate i pomodori, privateli dei semi e tagliateli a tocchetti. Affettate la cipolla finemente e fatela saltare in un cucchiaio di olio evo. Unite la polpa di pomodoro e fate stufare per qualche minuto. Aggiungete l'aceto, lo zucchero e il sale e pepe. Cuocete a fuoco basso per altri 10 minuti così da ottenere un composto ben amalgamato e leggermente caramellato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Nel frattempo preparate melanzane e sedano: tagliate il sedano a fettine di circa 1/2 cm e tuffatele in acqua bollente salata. Sbollentate per un paio di minuti, scolate e tenete da parte. Tagliate le melanzane a cubetti di circa 2 - 3 cm di lato. Fate saltare, un po' per volta, in una padella antiaderente con poco&amp;nbsp;olio evo. Se avete un wok tanto di guadagnato: permette una cottura veloce con una limitatissima quantità di condimento.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Unite melanzane e sedano al pomodoro e cuocete a fuoco basso per circa 30 minuti, girando ogni tanto ed eventualmente aggiungendo un poco di acqua se necessario. Unite olive, capperi e pinoli. e continuate la cottura per altri 5-10 minuti. Togliete dal fuoco. Lasciate raffreddare e riponete in frigorifero. Consumate freddo, o tiepido, il giorno successivo quando i sapori avranno avuto il tempo di amalgamarsi e svilupparsi al meglio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888309983362535243-8403192987570158909?l=food4thought-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/8403192987570158909/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/07/caponatina-light.html#comment-form' title='11 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/8403192987570158909'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/8403192987570158909'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/07/caponatina-light.html' title='caponatina light'/><author><name>alex di 'food 4 thought'</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09951363693593407339</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D2tnn9S-vls/TgNp3qf6RaI/AAAAAAAAAjA/VBvSJAXAKE8/s220/new%2Blogo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-P2zNfCtafZE/Th92lEGkD7I/AAAAAAAAAms/2LEuSrqeOYk/s72-c/caponata.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>11</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888309983362535243.post-579622835470931710</id><published>2011-07-14T19:16:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-07-14T19:16:27.976+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Anch'io sono Gente del Fud!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-37_-4cYd77c/Th8MQJAObWI/AAAAAAAAAmg/tjt4I0San4E/s1600/Immagine+11.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="395" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-37_-4cYd77c/Th8MQJAObWI/AAAAAAAAAmg/tjt4I0San4E/s400/Immagine+11.png" width="400" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;All'incirca un mese fà, &amp;nbsp;per iniziativa del Pastificio Garofalo, una buona fetta dei migliori e più conosciuti foodblogger italiani si sono riuniti sulla costiera Amalfitana. L'incontro aveva lo scopo di promuovere una nuova iniziativa pensata e lanciata appunto dalla Garofalo: &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;la community di Gente del Fud&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Che dire, anch'io come tanti ho 'origliato alla porta', leggendo con curiosità molti dei commenti postati dai partecipanti. E più leggevo più la curiosità si trasformava in genuino interesse e ammirazione. Poi la fortuna ha voluto che mi incontrassi in rete con Emidio Mansi, uno dei responsabili per la Garofalo del progetto, che mi ha accolto con calore nella community. &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;E ora anch'io sono Gente del Fud.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Due parole sul progetto che per ora è in fase di realizzazione e sarà aperto al pubblico a fine settembre.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;L'idea, come tutte le idee migliori, è semplice:&amp;nbsp;la cultura del cibo si sta diffondendo in modo esponenziale nella rete grazie al sempre crescente numero di foodbloggers che tramutano una passione personale in ricerca e sperimentazione, condividendo poi queste esperienze in modo libero. Gente del Fud vuole essere un social network che razionalizzi queste conoscenze in un unico database, all'interno del quale i bloggers segnaleranno i prodotti e le eccellenze del territorio con schede descrittive, informazioni sui produttori e ricette che suggeriscono modi tradizionali o più moderni per trasformare gli stessi. Il tutto mappato chiaramente per fornire un immediato riscontro dell'origine regionale dei singoli prodotti e dove trovarli. I contributi saranno collaborativi. Da raccontare è più complesso di quanto non sia nella realtà: immaginate una specie di wikipedia del gusto georeferenziata, un'enciclopedia delle eccellenze culinarie compilata direttamente da chi ha 'le mani in pasta', di facile consultazione e con la potenzialità di crescere quasi all'infinito. Eccitante!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Voglio aggiungere solo un'ultima nota: il mio piccolo blog è per scelta cosciente un'ad-free blog. Ovvero, nel pieno rispetto delle scelte altrui, non mi interessa avere collaborazioni con ditte di prodotti alimentari e non. Potrebbe sembrare che aderendo a Gente del Fud, progetto lanciato e sponsorizzato dal Pastificio Garofalo, io stia contraddicendo me stessa. La domanda me la sono fatta io per prima. Dopo avere investigato meglio ho però capito che il ruolo della Garofalo è prima di tutto di genuino interesse nella valorizzazione del territorio e dei suoi prodotti, improntato con chiarezza e trasparenza alla correttezza e all'onestà intellettuale. Se e quale 'pubblicità indiretta' ne ricaveranno sarà ben guadagnata, per un prodotto che è dopotutto tra i migliori disponibili sul mercato.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; E ora al lavoro. Nel 2002, con delibera regionale, in Piemonte venivano identificati 370 prodotti agroalimentari tradizionali. E questi sono solo i più conosciuti. Potete capire che la scelta su come contribuire, a rappresentazione di questa mia regione 'a Nord del Sud', non mi manca. Un po' per volta troverete qui quanto posterò in materia, sperando sempre di offrirvi informazioni e spunti di interesse.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888309983362535243-579622835470931710?l=food4thought-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/579622835470931710/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/07/anchio-sono-gente-del-fud.html#comment-form' title='13 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/579622835470931710'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/579622835470931710'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/07/anchio-sono-gente-del-fud.html' title='Anch&apos;io sono Gente del Fud!'/><author><name>alex di 'food 4 thought'</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09951363693593407339</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D2tnn9S-vls/TgNp3qf6RaI/AAAAAAAAAjA/VBvSJAXAKE8/s220/new%2Blogo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-37_-4cYd77c/Th8MQJAObWI/AAAAAAAAAmg/tjt4I0San4E/s72-c/Immagine+11.png' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>13</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888309983362535243.post-3164101663120744826</id><published>2011-07-11T16:53:00.001+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T13:59:13.078+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pesce'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fingerfood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food 4 thought'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cucina dal mondo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='antipasti'/><title type='text'>Rotolini di salmone e cetriolo marinati sulle rotte del Baltico</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RvumTvEnWxw/ThijQOLaX4I/AAAAAAAAAlk/F9ATmLQGPxY/s1600/salmon+rolls.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RvumTvEnWxw/ThijQOLaX4I/AAAAAAAAAlk/F9ATmLQGPxY/s640/salmon+rolls.jpg" width="462" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;A chi non piace il salmone affumicato? Lo mangia persino l'ammoremmio che detesta il pesce (porello lui!). Eppure, per quanto buonissimo, ha un qualcosa che a me non convince del tutto. Probabilmente perché trovo che il suo gusto sia assolutamente monocorde e, anche quello di primissima qualità, alla fine sappia principalmente di sale e di affumicato. Per questo è indispensabile stemperarlo con il giusto accoppiamento. L'uovo o la panna acida per esempio.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Questa volta ho optato per una versione alla 'Baltica', &amp;nbsp;prendendo a prestito una marinata che da quelle parti viene usata per l'insalata di cetrioli e che fa sì che il salmone ricordi un po' suo cugino, il gravadlax (mia grande passione di cui prometto di postare presto la ricetta).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Provate e poi ditemi.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Piesse: i blinis sono quelli (perfetti!) del Pranzo di Babette, uno dei miei blog preferiti in assoluto, che trovate &lt;a href="http://www.ilpranzodibabette.com/index.php/2007/12/11/blinis/"&gt;QUI&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-laOxlFg7WUI/ThjAu8agxyI/AAAAAAAAAl4/aiN3i0euBLk/s1600/salmon+rolls6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="506" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-laOxlFg7WUI/ThjAu8agxyI/AAAAAAAAAl4/aiN3i0euBLk/s640/salmon+rolls6.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;Ingredienti:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;300 gr salmone affumicato a fette&lt;br /&gt;2 cetrioli da insalata&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1 - 1 1/2 cucchiaino di senape in polvere (Colmann's) a seconda dei gusti&lt;br /&gt;1/2 bicchiere di succo di mela bio (limpido)&lt;br /&gt;2 cucchiai di aceto di vino bianco&lt;br /&gt;2 cucchiai di olio evo&lt;br /&gt;2 cucchiaini di zucchero&lt;br /&gt;poco sale&lt;br /&gt;1 mazzetto di aneto &amp;nbsp; (o finocchietto selvatico)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qd7Tx2sL-xo/Tb84InzywQI/AAAAAAAAAUM/xf913g4kCr8/s1600/WorldPeaceWorld_Hallinan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="148" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Qd7Tx2sL-xo/Tb84InzywQI/AAAAAAAAAUM/xf913g4kCr8/s200/WorldPeaceWorld_Hallinan.jpg" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"&gt;Cucina dal mondo&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;Per la marinata:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sciogliete la senape in polvere in poco succo di mela facendo attenzione che non restino grumi. Unite il resto del succo di mela, l'aceto, lo zucchero e il sale. Mischiate bene e aggiungete in fine l'olio e l'aneto tagliuzzato finemente sbattendo con una forchetta per emulsionare.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pelate i cetrioli e affettateli finemente nel senso della lunghezza con una mandolina. Scartate la parte centrale piena di semi.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mettete i cetrioli e il salmone in due ciotole separate. Coprite il salmone con la marinata quindi fate lo stesso con il cetriolo. Riponete in frigorifero per un paio di ore.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;L'assemblaggio:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;sovrapponete una fetta o due di cetriolo ad una fetta di salmone. Se la fetta di salmone è troppo larga, piegatela eventualmente in due, nel senso della lunghezza, oppure dividetela in due parti. Con il cetriolo nella parte superiore, arrotolate e infilzate con uno spiedino.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Appoggiate ogni rotolino di salmone e cetriolo su di un blinis e servite. Accompagnate volendo con un poco di panna acida a parte.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888309983362535243-3164101663120744826?l=food4thought-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/3164101663120744826/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/07/rotolini-di-salmone-e-cetriolo-marinati.html#comment-form' title='9 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/3164101663120744826'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/3164101663120744826'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/07/rotolini-di-salmone-e-cetriolo-marinati.html' title='Rotolini di salmone e cetriolo marinati sulle rotte del Baltico'/><author><name>alex di 'food 4 thought'</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09951363693593407339</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D2tnn9S-vls/TgNp3qf6RaI/AAAAAAAAAjA/VBvSJAXAKE8/s220/new%2Blogo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RvumTvEnWxw/ThijQOLaX4I/AAAAAAAAAlk/F9ATmLQGPxY/s72-c/salmon+rolls.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>9</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888309983362535243.post-1421279243102840794</id><published>2011-07-08T17:30:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T13:59:37.721+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fingerfood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food 4 thought'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='pere'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='gorgonzola'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='antipasti'/><title type='text'>one, two, three, snap: bicchierini pere, zenzero e zola</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Magari, &amp;nbsp;visto che si tratta di &lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"&gt;pomodorini confit&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, &amp;nbsp;fingendo di essere in Provenza?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Vi scrivo di corsa e in piena notte, sono giorni questi pieni di impegni. Ma anche se il tempo è pochissimo e mi tocca andare dritto al sodo, vi voglio lasciare un piccolo pensiero con questa ricetta ricca di verdure appena colte dal mio orto e resa appetitosa da una frolla all'olio croccantissima e profumata alle erbe.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Disponeteli su una teglia con il lato tagliato in alto. Condite con olio evo a filo, sale e abbondante zucchero muscovado (o cassonade). Spolverizzate con una presa generosa di origano secco.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Infornate a 150° per 1 ora e 1/2 o fino a quando i pomodorini non sono appassiti. Potete tranquillamente prepararli in anticipo, anche il giorno prima.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;step 2: la frolla all'olio&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Setacciate la farina con il bicarbonato di sodio. Unite l'olio e una presa di sale. Mischiate bene e velocemente con la punta delle dita a formare un composto sabbioso. Aggiungete l'uovo e amalgamate a formare un impasto compatto. Formate una palla, avvolgetela nella pellicola e riponetela in frigorifero per circa mezz'ora.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Riportate quindi l'impasto a temperatura ambiente, eliminate la pellicola e stendetelo, utilizzando il mattarello, tra due fogli di carta forno fino ad uno spessore di circa 0.5 cm.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Rivestite con questo una teglia da crostata, meglio se con il fondo rimovibile, da 24 cm di diametro. Coprite con un foglio di carta forno e riempite con i pesini appositi (o dei fagioli secchi).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Infornate in forno preriscaldato a 220° per circa 15 minuti. Svuotate la croute dei pesi ed eliminate la carta forno e reinfornate per altri 5 minuti.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;step 3: farcitura e cottura della tarte&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;foderate il fondo della tarte &amp;nbsp;con uno strato di zucchine grigliate. Ricoprite quindi con un secondo strato di taleggio di capra a fettine. Completate con uno strato finale di pomodorini confit.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Infornate per 10 minuti a 220°, il tempo di permenttere al formaggio di sciogliersi e ai sapori di amalgamarsi.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Servite calda o tiepida.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fAHjFLKaAk0/TgO-F6uzJmI/AAAAAAAAAjs/ng4Rn-8dC3w/s1600/tarte+pom+confit3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/888309983362535243-848745944346549172?l=food4thought-blog.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/feeds/848745944346549172/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/07/tarte-con-pomodorini-confit-e-non-solo.html#comment-form' title='22 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/848745944346549172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/888309983362535243/posts/default/848745944346549172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://food4thought-blog.blogspot.com/2011/07/tarte-con-pomodorini-confit-e-non-solo.html' title='tarte con pomodorini confit (e non solo)'/><author><name>alex di 'food 4 thought'</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09951363693593407339</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='29' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-D2tnn9S-vls/TgNp3qf6RaI/AAAAAAAAAjA/VBvSJAXAKE8/s220/new%2Blogo.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-W5eP6rMYxX4/TgO-YhkogTI/AAAAAAAAAjw/54ix5hYC15o/s72-c/toms.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>22</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888309983362535243.post-1239595127139368452</id><published>2011-06-30T10:22:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2011-10-26T14:00:24.838+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='uova di quaglia'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='spezie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='fingerfood'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='food 4 thought'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='cucina dal mondo'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='antipasti'/><title type='text'>Uova di quaglia con Za'atar</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QWVLNoBH9hI/Tgu7TxERQlI/AAAAAAAAAkM/O81TwSNf5rM/s1600/uova+di+quaglia%252Bza%2527atar1+copy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="618" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-QWVLNoBH9hI/Tgu7TxERQlI/AAAAAAAAAkM/O81TwSNf5rM/s640/uova+di+quaglia%252Bza%2527atar1+copy.jpg" width="640" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;Giorni duri anzi durissimi.
